After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 696: The cave is open! Who has the advantage?

Hearing this, Demon Emperor Yinglong and Lord Lu Yaoshan looked at each other at the same time, and their eyes quickly fell on Demon Emperor Tunri, with a hint of meaning in their eyes.

The Sun-Swallowing Demon King looked at the two of them and reacted quickly.

Indeed, if it were him, even if he had such a life-saving item, he would never use it until the last moment.

For example, before, which of the four demon kings didn't have one or two life-saving methods? But those methods were not to be used casually, and generally there would be a huge backlash.

No one will use it until the last moment.

For this reason, even if some demon saints were killed or injured, it didn’t matter to them.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Qingmu, if you use this treasure, we will not be stingy and will do our best to make it up to you." Demon King Yinglong changed the topic, dispelling the previous awkward atmosphere.

Lu Yaoshanjun and others also expressed their opinions.

No matter what, the good news brought by the Green Wood Demon Emperor was that with the Green Emperor Willow Branch, they no longer had to fear Jiang Che, and they could even catch him off guard.

"Thank you three fellow Taoists."

The Qingmu Demon King smiled and nodded.

There is no doubt that he was reluctant to use this life-saving treasure before. Even when he was forced into a miserable state by that human strongman at that time, he never thought of doing so.

After all, this willow branch is extremely precious. It was given by the Lord in recognition of the hard work and great contributions of the Wood Emperor clan. It contains a part of the Lord's power.

It will be used up once it is used up, and the master will not spend the effort to refill it for him.

But this time it was different. He used the willow branches because it was the master's order.

The matter of the cave in Fuling Mountain was told to them by their master. He didn't know what secrets were hidden in it, but he knew that the secrets buried in this cave were very deep.

Otherwise, the master would never take it so seriously.

When the Sun Devouring Demon King saw that there was a countermeasure, he immediately thought of revenge:
"Why don't we take action right now and lure Jiang Che out of Tianyuan, so that we can get rid of him once and for all and put an end to this disaster once and for all."

If there was any demon king who hated Jiang Che the most, it would be the Sun-Swallowing Demon King, because during their previous fight, Jiang Che specifically targeted him and was beaten extremely badly.

He was already full of anger, and now that he had such a treasure, how could he hold back?
This proposal also made Lu Yaoshan Jun very excited, and he quickly agreed. However, Qingmu Demon King and Yinglong Demon King did not agree, especially the latter, who warned them very seriously.

"The battle of Tianyuan just ended. We were forced by Jiang Che to not even dare to leave Wan Yao City. Do you think Jiang Che will be fooled by the sudden provocation? What's more, although this willow branch is very powerful, it may not be safe.

Once we let Jiang Che escape, there will be no hope of dealing with him next time. In my opinion, we should wait patiently until the cave in Fuling Mountain is opened and Jiang Che lets down his guard.

Then, I will give him another surprise and catch him off guard!"

"What Daoist Fellow Yinglong said makes sense."

Demon King Qingmu agreed with this idea. It would be too reckless to attack directly. The Fuling Mountain Cave Heaven was of great importance, and he didn't want to make any mistakes.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to face the Lord's rebuke.

"Well, then let Jiang Che live a few more days." Seeing that several people opposed it, the Sun-Swallowing Demon King didn't want to support it forcefully, and finally chose to express his position. After all, the willow branch was not his and he couldn't make the decision.

Yinglong Demon King nodded with satisfaction:
"No matter what, we now have this precious willow branch. If we meet Jiang Che again, we still have a good chance of killing him with our strength."

Lu Yaoshanjun smiled:

"Yes, I have the advantage this time!"

Time passes slowly, like the wind.

In the blink of an eye, nearly two months had passed.

Ever since the last battle of Tianyuan, Jiang Che led the human soldiers and strong men to kill the Demon Saint, overwhelmed the Ten Thousand Demons City, and severely intimidated the demon clan, so that the other side no longer provoked him.

Having stayed in Wan Yao City all the time, he seemed to have been completely frightened. The peace during this period was also a long-awaited good day for the entire Tianyuan. For this reason, countless people praised and respected Jiang Che.

And because Jiang Che set up a battle merit list and provided a large amount of cultivation resources, Tianyuan City has become the most popular thing in the entire Central Plains recently, and countless strong people rush to Tianyuan every day.

To "achieve great achievements" for the court.

There are even some powerful martial saints among them.

Jiang Che's record of defeating the demon clan also spread wildly in the Spirit Realm, not only making Jiang Che's prestige more solid, but also dispelling many people's fear of the demon clan.

At the same time, it also deterred some forces that were ready to make moves.

It has been said before that Jiang Che unified the world too quickly. In fact, he did not go through many major wars. It was only because of a few key wars that he established his momentum.

Only then did the whole world surrender.

But later, in order to plunder resources, Jiang Che severely offended a large number of aristocratic families and sects, which had already caused dissatisfaction among many people, but no one dared to say it openly.

In addition to some remnants of the previous dynasty who refused to give up, as well as some remnants of forces that were wiped out by Jiang Che, the Central Plains, Southern Xinjiang, Western Desert and Northern Barbarian Grasslands actually gathered a small group of forces that were dissatisfied with the court and Jiang Che.

It's just that their strength was too weak. In addition, the imperial court had just been established and was at its peak, so no one dared to attack them.

But as Jiang Che rushed to help Tianyuan and did not return to Central Plains for several months, some people began to get restless. However, before they could even think of causing chaos, news of Jiang Che's horrific achievements spread back to Central Plains.

Destroy the demon clan, suppress all demons, celebrate together with the heaven and earth, drink the blood of the demon saint, eat the flesh of the demon king.
Each incident, under the exaggeration of the imperial court, completely shocked everyone, and with the establishment of the military merit list, it mobilized the enthusiasm of the whole world.

Because the resources that Jiang Che brought out made everyone jealous.

The flesh and blood of demon saints, thousands of years of elixir, treasures for overcoming calamities, holy weapons, skills, and treasures for enlightenment.
When these things came out, not to mention ordinary warriors, even the Martial Saints were jealous. If they could get one or two, they would have the confidence to make further progress, and Jiang Che also subdued the demon clan.

Many people even feel that this is the best time to make achievements. It can be said that countless people go to Tianyuan from the teleportation array every day. At the same time, batches of soldiers are also mobilized.

Against this backdrop, the imperial court became increasingly stable.

Even Qi family ancestor Yao Yue and others wanted to go to Tianyuan, but they were temporarily suppressed by Jiang Che. The current court still cannot do without these strong men to take charge.

The Qingtian Sect's rebels and various remnants are still eyeing him covetously. Jiang Che is really worried that if he transfers all the strong men away, someone may steal his house from behind.

However, there is an exception, that is the Red Blood Lord.
With Jiang Che's special approval, he was able to come and help "make contributions", which attracted the envy of many people.

Tianjian Mountain. Back mountain.

Two figures, one white and one yellow, sat opposite each other, with a chessboard between them. The man in white had white hair and a youthful face, and he had an extraordinary temperament. He was the ancestor of Tianjian Mountain, Zhenhai Zhenjun Xuanyuanhe.

Needless to say, the man in yellow was none other than Emperor Jiang Che in dragon robe.

No, to be exact, Jiang Che was not wearing a yellow robe, but a golden robe. Wearing it, it displayed Jiang Che's power to the fullest.

In the past two months, Jiang Che has not been idle. In addition to waiting for the opening of the Fuling Mountain Cave, his target has been set on the demon clan. He even went there several times, hoping to take the opportunity to capture a few lone demon saints or even demon kings.

Unfortunately, it seemed that the pressure he brought last time was too heavy, so apart from the first victory, all the powerful soldiers of the demon clan, except for a small number, were unable to come out.

They were all hidden in Wan Yao City, leaving Jiang Che with no way out.

We can't just charge into the city, right?

Although he was powerful, he was not that powerful, so in the end, nothing came of it. His goal also turned to discussing philosophy and drinking tea with Xuanyuan He, and he lived a leisurely and comfortable life every day.

But it must be said that an old senior like Xuanyuan He may not be stronger than him, but his knowledge, especially his experience in cultivation, is enough to crush him.

Although he was forced to gain insights every time he broke through, his foundation was still not as stable as Xuanyuan He's, who had cultivated step by step through hard work, which made Jiang Che sigh from time to time.

However, Jiang Che's sigh seemed more like showing off to Xuanyuan He. Except for the first time when he suffered a loss, he chose to pretend not to see it the rest of the time.

There is no other reason, Jiang Che’s cultivation speed is a little too outrageous.

In just a few years, he had reached a level that was comparable to the Rule Immortal, but what about him? He had practiced for hundreds of years, and encountered many opportunities during this period.

But compared with Jiang Che, he is nothing.

The power of rules that Xuanyuan He comprehended made Jiang Che very interested. He had always thought that he could only comprehend the rules of heaven and earth. However, after Xuanyuan He took action, he discovered that what he comprehended was the rules of the sword.

What we are walking on is the path of entering the Tao through sword.

This made Jiang Che a little confused. Does swordsmanship have the power of rules?

It was not until Xuanyuan He explained it later that I had to sigh that the three thousand great ways are indeed different. Whether it is a sword or a knife, they actually contain extremely deep power.

It just depends on whether you can understand it.

Jiang Che felt that this path would be doomed to fail without the help of the Sacrifice of the Heavenly Stele. After all, although his comprehension was good, it was not yet to the point of shocking the world.

Moreover, he has never been bound by any weapon. He first used a knife, then a halberd, and now a sword. He uses whatever weapon is most powerful.

To put it nicely, it means he is an all-rounder in martial arts. To put it bluntly, he does not have the intention of relying on any weapon for his entire life and will not pin everything on weapons.

Not to mention the holy soldiers, even if they were immortal soldiers, he would be the same.

However, everyone has their own path, and no one can say which path is the most correct one. At least Jiang Che doesn't think this path can go far. On the contrary, the most yang rule he has comprehended is a smooth path to heaven.

If he can comprehend the ultimate Yin rules, unite Yin and Yang, rotate the Great Dao, and integrate the rules in the future, then his supernatural powers will be even more invincible. At that time, even if Jiang Che faces any spatial rules, he will not be at all inferior, and may even be better than them.

Xuanyuan He could not deny this, nor did he have any suggestions.

He was not qualified to give instructions to Jiang Che at the moment, so they could only discuss and comprehend each other. Therefore, after the initial argument, the two of them focused their attention on the game of chess.

However, this is not an ordinary chess game, but two people use the chessboard as a boundary and the chess pieces as soldiers, and each displays the power of rules or supernatural powers to compete.

Also, it is perfectly normal to fight for three days and three nights.

"Once your majesty's merit list was released, it almost mobilized the power of the entire Central Plains. Except for the top powerhouses who can't keep up, if the others can work together, the power of the human race may not be much inferior to that of the demon race."

Xuanyuan He was quite impressed with this move. It was not that they could not think of it, but that they could not do it. Without the prestige of an emperor and the power to dominate the world, no one could achieve this level.

"Unfortunately, what we lack most right now are the top powerhouses."

Jiang Che shook his head slightly.

Within the Demon Realm, based on some oral statements from the Red Dragon Demon King, Jiang Che basically predicted that there were no less than ten Rule Demon Kings in the Demon Realm. This was an extremely terrifying force.

Unless Jiang Che can gather the power of the entire spiritual realm and invite Ji Chengdao who has faked his death and the enemy Qingtian Sect Leader and others, he basically cannot win at the moment.

Otherwise, there would be no need to remain deadlocked here. They could directly pacify the so-called City of Ten Thousand Demons, march eastward, enter the demon territory, and start a racial war.

"Don't be anxious. As long as we keep calm, we still have hope. Especially Your Majesty, if you can comprehend the power of rules, there will be hope for the future of the human race."

"Haha. This still depends on future opportunities. However, what worries me most right now is what kind of plans are being made in the Demon Realm recently." Jiang Che's eyes flashed with a trace of solemnity.

"What does your majesty mean?"

Xuanyuan He paused as he was about to make his move.

"After all, the background of the demon realm is too terrifying. Who knows, they are planning something that can make my magical powers ineffective." Ever since that incident, Jiang Che is no longer overconfident.

After all, if the gate to his realm could be sealed the first time, it might be possible to seal it a second time. He estimated that if he had the power of the second metamorphosis rule, it should basically be enough.

The question now is whether there is such a foundation within the demon realm.

If so, it is not optimistic.

If not, then he would just kill indiscriminately, without even waiting for the opportunity to gather sacrifices after the Fuling Mountain Cave Heaven, he could scare the other party so much that they would not dare to leave the Wan Yao City, and whoever came out would be killed.

"We do need to be on guard."

Xuanyuan He was a steady person, and he was somewhat worried about this. He did not dare to be overconfident. After all, the human race had experienced a generational break, but the demon race had never experienced that.

No one knows how strong its foundation is.

"hehe."

Jiang Che continued to make moves. Just as he was about to say something, a treasure in his hand suddenly flashed. His eyes suddenly focused and he raised his head, with a hint of excitement and excitement in his eyes:
"Senior Xuanyuan, the Fuling Mountain Cave Heaven is about to open, it's time"
